WHY ARE THERE SO MANY CHURCHES?
The following statement is typical of many that we hear: “There is one God and one Lord Jesus Christ. There is only one Bible. Why are there so many different churches?” There are literally thousands of different religious organizations in the world today which claim to believe in Jesus Christ. The number of these organizations increases daily. It is not surprising that sincere seekers after truth are confused. Our Lord prayed for the unity of all who would believe in Him. In John 17:20-21, Jesus spoke to the Father these words: “I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent me.” Many turn away from Christ in confusion because of the many different churches which claim to be following Him today.
